Why I Am a Member of the Focus on the Family Christian Counselor Network

At Akua Family Therapy, one of my (Aaron Collins, LMFT) deepest passions is supporting individuals, couples, and families who want counseling that respects their faith, values, and spiritual beliefs. For that reason, I have been a member of the Focus on the Family Christian Counselor Network (CCN) for the past 7–8 years, and I recently renewed my membership again.

Supporting a Mission That Strengthens Families

I have long appreciated the work that Focus on the Family has done to strengthen families around the world. Their organization provides a wide range of resources for parents, couples, and individuals who want to build healthy relationships while remaining rooted in their Christian faith.

Through books, broadcasts, articles, and practical tools, Focus on the Family has helped millions of families navigate challenges such as:

• Marriage struggles
  
  

• Parenting concerns
  
  

• Communication breakdowns
  
  

• Emotional and spiritual growth
  
  

• Faith-centered family life
  
  

Their mission to help families thrive aligns closely with the values we hold at Akua Family Therapy.

What the Christian Counselor Network Is

The Christian Counselor Network (CCN) is a referral network created by Focus on the Family to help connect people with licensed professional counselors who respect and integrate Christian values in the counseling process.

Membership in this network allows families searching for help through Focus on the Family to find qualified therapists who are trained professionals and who also understand the importance of faith in a person’s life.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I appreciate being part of a network that recognizes both the clinical importance of evidence-based therapy and the spiritual importance of faith and values in the healing process.

Faith and Professional Counseling

At Akua Family Therapy, we serve clients from many different backgrounds. Some clients want therapy that explicitly integrates Christian faith, while others simply appreciate a therapist who respects their beliefs.

Being connected with the Christian Counselor Network is one way I remain connected with a broader community of Christian professionals who care deeply about:

• healthy marriages
  
  

• strong families
  
  

• emotional healing
  
  

• faith-informed growth
  
  

My goal has always been to provide counseling that is ethical, professional, compassionate, and respectful of each client’s values.

Serving the Local Community in Hawaii

As a therapist serving individuals, couples, and families here in Hawaii, I believe that strong families are the foundation of healthy communities.

Organizations like Focus on the Family play an important role in equipping families with tools that encourage communication, forgiveness, resilience, and faith.

I am grateful to continue supporting that mission through my membership in the Christian Counselor Network.
